    Help me Chill Out about my new chicks.

    Thanks everyone for being my chick gurus. My husband was very confused when I took one of them into the bathroom with a blow dryer and I said if we don’t trust BYC, who CAN we trust?!

    Help me Chill Out about my new chicks.

    I’m letting it hover around 91° because the feed store couldn’t tell me how old they were and I’m pretty convinced I have two different ages based on their fluff and size right now. She’s had a little bit of this since I brought her home so I think it’s just residual from the stock tank she was...

    She literally pooped on my while I cleaned her so not pasted over but she ended up liking her little spa day.

    I have some too! You are right! I keep worrying I’m going to burn my house down but I think I’m just being insane. I’m just going to nutridrench the heat lamp and see if that makes me feel better 😂

    they all woke up and started acting chicken-like which tempered much of my stress. And they are so cute. Everyone forgot to remind me how cute they are!!!

    I just got my very first chicks. I’ve always only done older pullets. We brought them home from the feed store and they immediately went to sleep. I’m paranoid about my heat lamp. I’m paranoid about their butts. Someone help calm me down. 😂🤣

    34 week freeloader

    here is one from today. She’s missing some from a dog encounter a few weeks ago, but I really can’t imagine she’s a Roo. She’s the bottom of the pecking order! But maybe. I am not good at telling. [

    First picture sunbathing is more recent. Second one is better pic of her, but she’s gotten a ton bigger since then.

    I have a 35 week Speckled Sussex and she still isn’t laying! Her sister started at 20 weeks, and she still isn’t even squatting. She’s getting top of the line care with her two other coop-mates, who both lay regularly. Is this something I should be worried about? It’s my first time having...

    Where to put roost bar and windows...

    Hi! We built the same coop! Did you relocate the floor door? We loved the design but now we’re rethinking the door. Just interested in hearing how people dealt with it.

    Why did I do that?! Door on the Floor Edition

    Also, just to clarify, I honestly don’t mind having to clean out more often, I’m mostly concerned about winter heat.

    So is the alternative adding heat?

    Enough vertical space to try the deep method? If our dogs didn’t have to share space I think we would have more wiggle room. Plus in the city we are only legally allowed to have SIX total. Dumb. But my mom did call me this week to tell me she found an incubator in her basement so all bets are off.
